5. CONTRACTORS ONLY!!! GERMAN “FAX-BACK” PROCESS
NOTE: This applies to all DISA and NON-DISA Contractors
5a. Background. With the NATO SOFA SA and the Exchange of Notes in place, the German
Government has insisted that DoD Contractor personnel coming to Germany to work for short
periods of time (90 days or less) must either be accredited as a Technical Expert (TE) with
associated privileges (ILS, freedom from German Taxes, etc.) or come over within the
provisions of the GWPO.
An arrangement was worked out with the Federal Ministry of Labor (FMoL) to allow certain
DoD contractor employees to come to Germany to work for short periods (TDY of up to 90
days) with a minimum of bureaucratic delay. The period of "90 days" is not a figure of
convenience. It is the maximum time for which an exemption under the GWPO may be granted.
If a person works one (1) day beyond the 90-day period, the exemption is inapplicable and the
individual may be prosecuted for working without a work permit for the entire period of time
he/she was in Germany. Also, if a person stays one (1) day beyond the 90-day period, he/she
may be subject to criminal action for being in Germany without a residence permit. The fact that
he/she was working under the "fax-back" procedure does not affect the requirement that he/she
must obtain a residence permit upon expiration of the 90 days from his/her first entry into
Germany.
The FMoL, with the concurrence of the German Federal Labor Office (Bundesanstalt für Arbeit),
agreed to "liberally construe" the exemption provisions of the GWPO to include DoD contractor
employees where the type of work they perform could reasonably be included within the
provisions of the "liberally construed" exemptions. To guarantee that the contractor personnel
would have no legal problems on arriving in Germany, it was agreed that their status (either
exempt or not exempt) should be determined before they depart CONUS for Germany. This is
accomplished by an exchange of FAXes between the contractor (i.e., the company) and the
selected State (Land) Labor Office (Landesarbeitsamt) centrally administering the GWPO
exemptions, the Landesarbeitsamt (LAA) Baden-Wuerttemberg in Stuttgart.

6. WARNING. Please be advised, that regardless of what anyone else may or may not
have told you about traveling to Germany as a CONUS/NON-Germany based US
Government Contractor; in accordance with the NATO Status of Forces Agreement, any
US Government Contractor not based based in Germany, found in Germany conducting
any business/work activity without an APPROVED FAX-BACK (German Labor Office
Work Permit Waiver) could be Detained, Arrested, Imprisoned, or fined by the German
Authorities.
7. It is strongly recommended that CONUS/NON-Germany based US Government
Contractors traveling to Germany, have their APPROVED “Fax-Back” form ON HAND
traveling to Germany. Do not assume that you can come here without one.

APPROVED FAXBACK forms by the German Government Labor Office will be

Agreement, any US Government Contractor not based in Germany, found in Germany
